“Come on! Here we go again!” - Sebastien Haller chooses between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo

Borussia Dortmund striker Sebastian Haller recently revealed his choice in the debate between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. The France-born Ivory Coast international sided with the Portuguese superstar.

In a recent interview with GOAL, Haller was asked a series of questions where he had to choose between two players. He chose Eduardo Mendy over Roman Burki, Sergio Busquets over Ruben Neves, and Karim Benzema over Javier Hernandez before the most important question popped up.

Haller was asked to pick between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. He was initially reluctant to choose one, saying:

"Ahh, come on! Here we go again."

However, the 29-year-old striker did provide an answer. He said:

"Honestly, I would say Ronaldo."

Haller was also asked to choose between Roberto Firmino and Lorenzo Insigne. The Dortmund striker sided with the Brazilian.
